The True Meaning Of Christmas


It's not the cookies
Nor the cakes,
It's not the pies
That mama bakes.

It's not the potatoes
Nor the stuffing,
It's not the turkey
I'm not bluffing.

It's not the Christmas tree
Nor the decorations,
It's not about the pretty lights
Or the amount of presents.

The true meaning of Christmas
Lives within every one of us,
It's our spirit of giving
And providing warmth for the homeless.

I had the entire poem in my head a few feet to the kitchen.
